I just picked up the Big Agnes Insulated Air Core. I did quite a bit of research before hand as well. I got the long mummy style. So far its awesome. There are tons of options out there though. Good luck!

I'm going to try the NeoAir XLite this year. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid the leak. I've kind of had bad experiences in the past on inflatables leaking over time but I'm going to give it another go. The ultra packable, lightweight and R-value enticed me to give it another try. Time will tell if I revert back to a foam pad.

I have a thermarest inflatable. My son bought it for me for christmas a few years back. He bought himself one also. He has had a couple of leaks easily repaired with a patch kit. I have never had a problem. It is heavier than most but the horses are usually carrying it (they are also carrying my cot, I use to really rough it but not any more). When you put them in the panniers just make sure you dont put it where the horse is going to scrape it against trees

Although not cheap, this looks like a promising pad, very light.....Have you or anybody else here have any experience with this pad yet?
